Chapter 168 The Male Protagonist's Excellent Mother (Fifty-Five)
As an elderly noblewoman who is "eager to get married", Han Jiaojiao is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.
Many of Puxin's playboys were even more worried that Han Jiaojiao would commit fraud.
Therefore, in the past one or two years, most of the rich children would avoid Han Jiaojiao's carriage when they saw it! Han Jiaojiao was absolutely walking sideways in the capital.
But today, the carriage suddenly stopped, as if it was hit by someone.
"Nothing. A rascal from out of town who didn't know the rules rushed in recklessly and almost startled the horse."
"Don't worry, Miss. I have already dealt with it!"
Outside the carriage, a hard male voice replied in a low voice.
"oh!"
Han Jiaojiao nodded. This was the guard that her mother left for her. He was the most loyal and reliable.
He has always acted prudently.
Han Jiaojiao didn't care. She leaned back in her seat, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and started to eat them leisurely.
"Oh, I wonder if Auntie and the others have arrived in Beijing!"
It's been six years, Auntie should still remember Jiaojiao.
Han Jiaojiao was lost in thought, and the days in Heyin County could not help but emerge in her mind.
Those three years were definitely the happiest and most comfortable days in Han Jiaojiao’s first half of her life.
These were also the years that had the greatest impact on her.
If it weren't for her aunt, Han Jiaojiao couldn't imagine what a weak and vulnerable little thing she would be.
Perhaps, as soon as she returns to Beijing, she will be controlled by her stepmother, and compared with the outstanding half-sisters and legitimate sisters, she will become even more cowardly and even more unpresentable.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and Han Jiaojiao didn't pay any attention to what was happening outside.
"You offended a noble man and spoke rudely. Ten strokes of the cane will do!"
The black-faced guard returned to his horse and gave orders in a cold voice.
"Why? You are not the master of Jingzhao Prefecture. Why do you beat people? You are abusing lynching!"
Little Brother Ji was pinned to the ground, feeling both frightened and angry.
After all, he is the younger brother of a juren, and his eldest sister-in-law's family is a high-ranking official in the capital.
Yes! Sister-in-law!
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaodi hurriedly shouted, "I, I am the in-law of Zheng Gelao."
The black-faced guard raised his eyebrows, "Lord Zheng? Zheng Qi?"
He actually called the other person by his name.
Little Brother Ji did not notice this subtle abnormality. He mistakenly thought that this lackey knew his father-in-law.
He nodded repeatedly, "Yes! It's Elder Zheng! My eldest brother is his grandson-in-law!"
Even if we don't know how to be afraid, we should know that we are all powerful people, so we should not act recklessly.
The black-faced guard coldly spat out one word: "Fight!"
Little Brother Ji was dumbfounded, staring at the black-faced guard.
The black-faced guard opened his mouth, revealing his white teeth, "Tell Zheng Qi that if he doesn't accept it, just come to the Han family to ask for punishment!"
After that, there was no further explanation.
Crackling!
Several soldiers swung up wooden sticks and started beating Ji Xiaodi on the buttocks.
"ah!"
“Help!”
"Brother, sister-in-law, come and save me!"
"Someone's been beaten to death! The rich and powerful have killed innocent people!"
Little Brother Ji howled like a ghost, and the onlookers pointed and talked.
The black-faced guard didn't care at all.
Seeing that his troops had finished beating the man, he waved his hand and led everyone to chase after the carriage.
When Ji Keji and Zheng Wanjun found Ji Xiaodi, he was already unconscious on the street, covered in blood.
"Koichiro! Koichiro!"
Ji Keji's eyes went dark and he bit his tongue hard before he managed to calm down.
Zheng Wanjun frowned, feeling very dissatisfied: I've said it before, the capital is full of powerful people, and since I've just arrived, I'd better not be too ostentatious.
Xiao Qillang, on the other hand, just after entering the city, ran around everywhere like a wild horse.
Zheng Wanjun wanted to stop him, but was persuaded by Ji Keji.
Now, I’ve gotten into trouble and I’ve been hurt.
But Zheng Wanjun couldn't be blamed, otherwise it would mean that he didn't know how to feel sorry for his brother-in-law.
Zheng Dalang is older and has been in the capital for several years.
He did not rush to check on Ji Xiaodi, but first found a few idle people on the roadside to inquire about the situation.
After a moment, he came closer with a sullen face.
Ji Keji was calling Xiao Qilang's name in a hurry.
Zheng Dalang did not get angry immediately, but said in a deep voice, "Come two people, carry Xiao Qilang to the nearby clinic first."
Zheng Dalang's words reminded Zheng Wanjun, and she quickly agreed, "Yes! Let's go to the clinic first!"
Xiao Qillang was indeed a bit reckless, but human life is the most important.
Go see a doctor first, make sure you are fine, then ask for details and then deal with it.
If there is a playboy who bullies others by taking advantage of his power, Zheng Wanjun will not ignore it just because she doesn't like Xiao Qilang. She will seek justice for Xiao Qilang.
After all, this matter also concerns the reputation of the Ji family.
She is the mistress of the Ji family and must be protected.
If Xiao Qilang had caused trouble and offended a noble, he would have to go and apologize in person! The group didn't bother to go to the Zheng family, but went to the clinic first.
The doctor took Ji's pulse and checked his wounds. "Fortunately, it's just a flesh wound, no bones were hurt!"
After hearing this, Zheng Dalang's heart finally settled down: Fortunately, fortunately, the noble man was just punishing me and did not hold a grudge!
Otherwise, based on the Han family's, oh no, the Huo family's style of doing things, the Ji family's little Qilang would probably be beaten into a cripple.
Ji Keji found it a bit harsh. His brother had been beaten into a bloody mess, so how could he be "okay"? Did he have to be beaten half to death or become disabled?
Ji Keji pursed his lips and said nothing, but the air pressure around his body was a little low.
Zheng Dalang's eyes flickered slightly.
He discovered this when he first met his cheap brother-in-law.
The current Ji Keji is no longer the same person as the Xiao Silang he knew back then.
He has changed! "Shenzhi, come here!"
Zheng Dalang whispered to Ji Keji, "I have something to tell you."
Ji Keji still had some resentment in his heart, thinking that the Zheng family was not as prominent as they boasted.
My little brother was beaten as soon as he arrived in Beijing, and he was beaten so badly.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Ji Keji would not think that there were many powerful people in Beijing and it was difficult to provoke them. He would only think that the Zheng family was "nothing special"! Of course, although he was dissatisfied, Ji Keji did not show it.
Firstly, he remembered the kindness of the Zheng family.
Secondly, he has not yet passed the imperial examination and still needs the care of the Zheng family.
Forcing a smile, Ji Keji bowed to Zheng Dalang and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, Xiao Qilang was injured. I was in a hurry and couldn't help getting angry."
"No problem!"
Zheng Dalang was personally raised by Zheng's grandfather and Zheng's eldest uncle, and he had the demeanor of a typical son of an aristocratic family.
His emotions were under perfect control.
Gentle, humble and warm.
Zheng Dalang called Ji Keji aside and whispered, "I have already asked. Xiao Qilang may have run too fast and bumped into the noble's carriage, almost startling the horse. The noble's guards ordered him to be punished."
"Is that noble man okay?" Ji Keji is not really a fool.
When I heard that the nobleman's horse was almost frightened, I was worried that something might happen.
"No problem, my lord!"
But a collision is a collision.
The guards only gave him ten strokes with a stick instead of beating him to death, which was considered kind.
I guess he also gave face to the Zheng family.
Tsk, this little Qilang really dares to use the tiger skin as a banner, and actually shouted "Zheng Ge Lao" in the street! Zheng Dalang, the grandson of his own family, didn't dare to act recklessly in the capital under the banner of his grandfather.
A relative-in-law, the younger brother of a grandson-in-law, could be so outrageous.
It’s not that Zheng Dalang is unwilling to help his relatives, but you have to be right too.
It was obvious that he was the one who was reckless first, but instead of apologizing and admitting his guilt, he put forward his "backer" first.
What is this for? To use force to pressure others?
The Ji family really overestimates the Zheng family.
In the capital city where powerful people gather, the Zheng family is really nothing.
At least compared to the one from the Han family, hiss——
When he thought of the little ancestor of the Han family, Zheng Dalang, who had always been cautious, felt a headache.
Zheng Dalang was thinking about how to go to the Han family to apologize, but Ji Keji gave up first.
"If there's nothing wrong with it, why are you still——" Beating my little Qilang like this? Isn't this an abuse of lynching?
This is the best place in the country, right under the feet of the emperor. That nobleman is a little too arrogant.
Do they still have the law in their eyes? Ji Keji didn't say these words, but they were written on his face.
Zheng Dalang sneered secretly, but did not show it on his face.
He still looked gentle, patiently explaining to Ji Keji, "Although the noble lady is fine, she is of noble status!"
"Let alone other things, just for this offense, if you are sent to the government, you will be punished! Thirty strokes of the cane are inevitable. You may even have to pay copper coins to redeem yourself."
How can ordinary people desecrate the royal dignity?
"A noble person? Big brother, who exactly is this noble person?"
As Ji Keji spoke, his tone became more dissatisfied.
Could it be a prince or a princess?
But even among the royal family, there is a saying that "if a prince breaks the law, the common people are guilty as well."
Zheng Dalang was getting a little impatient.
To be honest, he really didn't understand his own father.
Ji Keji is indeed good at reading, but he is still ridiculously "naive" in his interpersonal relationships.
"The Princess Nan'an of the Han family, the daughter of Princess Yongjia, and the only bloodline of General Huo Yun, the King of Anxi!"
Zheng Dalang was too lazy to be tactful and directly revealed the identity of the nobleman.
This Princess Nan'an is not of royal blood, but she is more noble than a real princess.
The Empress Dowager's lifeblood, the Saint's favorite little princess.
Even the queen, the crown prince and many other princes doted on her and gave in to her.
Not to mention that he is just an ordinary citizen, even if he is the son of a powerful and wealthy person, if he dares to provoke her, he will only be beaten and punished.
If one gets it wrong, it will implicate the father and grandfather, and the entire family will be implicated! "..."
Ji Keji was dumbfounded. His ears were filled with a bunch of words about princesses, duchesses, princes and generals, and his brain was almost shut down.
However, King Anxi's reputation was too great.
He was the adopted son of Taizu and guarded the northwest for the saint.
He had outstanding military achievements and was crowned king.
More than thirty years ago, during a great war in the northwest, King Anxi led his children and grandchildren to defend the city, but they all died in the battle, with only a young daughter escaping.
The late emperor was grateful for the loyalty and bravery of the Huo family and felt pity for the orphan girl, so he adopted the Huo family's daughter, gave her the title of Yongjia, and gave her to the empress dowager, who was still the queen, to raise.
The empress dowager loved her adopted daughter, and when Princess Yongjia grew up, she married her most promising nephew, Han Chong, the prince of Cheng'en Mansion.
Princess Nan'an is the only daughter of Princess Yongjia and the last drop of blood of the Huo family left in this world...
